Lord of the Abyss.

One month from today

Until the Mana Eradication Plan has been concluded.

Reward :

None.

Failure :

The lands will be engulfed by the Abyss.

Jay :

It is now official. He is after us.

Sein's corpse had disappeared as with Jay's coverage.

King :

This is bad really bad. Nothing we have can stand up against him.

McElroy :

Come on there must be a way we can do something

How about Preponding the project.

King :

No, if it is even preponded for a day. There are significant risk that the operation might fail. It is just a scaled up prototype.

Everything that can go wrong. Will go wrong if we're not careful.

Jay :

Murphys law.

Phoenix opened the door and entered because the third head had summoned him.

King :

Make an announcement for the Grand Assembly. And summon every member. Do not let anyone leave until I let them.

Phoenix saw the seriousness in his order and fled the room.

Because Phoenix had himself gotten a gist.

Jay :

So what now?

King :

We prepare for war.

King :

I am very skeptical about your neutrality. But it's time I am calling a truce. Between us.

The world now depends on you. What shall you do now.

Stand with us. Or once again maintain your neutrality.

Jay :

Why not a temporary alliance until everything is resolved.

King :

You stand with us or against us.

Jay :

I will stand with you for the time being.

McElroy :

I will stand with you as well.

King :

Are there any more affairs you want to sort out?

Jay :

Many. And all of them are equally important to us.

King :

Sort them out in 25 days. And return to the capital.

King :

I need a collateral if you're going outside the capital.

Jay :

We have nothing to give as a colletral.

King :

One of you will be staying here. Under my hand.

Jay :

That's too much to ask. Why will we even run.

Our lives are too on the line.

King :

I suspect that X won't target the capital. But the shadow beasts are still roaming the outside. Haunting the lands. That's why we have spread out forces.

And I can't afford to lose you two.

King :

And I want to confirm your ambitions why do you want to cross the gates.

Jay :

I want to just go home and the only way to do that is to play his bidding.

McElroy :

I want to become like Hero Helios. The Legendary Gate buster.

King :

You of all people who disposed Helios the most now you want to become like him.

McElroy :

Why will I dispise him . I've never met him I've just heard his tales. And he's the ideal for many gatebusters.

King :

I'll give you the locations of your brother's.

McElroy I need you to prioritize on them first.

King :

And you'll be sorting out your affairs and you'll be running errands for me.

Jay :

I thought we had an alliance how did I become an errand boy.

King :

Like it or not you'll be following my lead. Or do you want to challenge me.

Jay :

I would like it to be resorted peacefully.

King :

Good, now sort out your affairs as soon as possible.

Phoenix will accompany you Jay. As for McElroy you will be assigned a guard. Who will keep an eye on you.

Jay :

Then we'll be leaving for the time being.

Jay and McElroy both walked out of the office with a sense of pressure on their heads.

And as they walked out. They called the elevator and from the elevator.

They saw another one why they knew long ago.

When they made the biggest mistake upto date.

The destruction of the Kingdom of Chroma.

And the one who was the sole witness was none other than the grieving.

Azure Striker Black bolt : Roy Williams.

Who as he saw them recognized them in an instant. And was flabbergasted at first. As he instantly stepped back and drew his blade. To cut down both of them.

And as he was about to do so. There was a loud voice.

King :

Stop.

Jay for the nth time found a blade just below his neck.

King :

These are out guest. Do not hurt them.

Black bolt as he used lightning.

The elevator being to crack with electricity and the lights went out but sunlights still penetrated the elevator through the glass. And the glass behind him shattered into a million pieces. And with such a force that the pieces were scattered

Black bolt :

These are not guest but intruders.

From blackbolt's body black lighting started to emanate as his hate towards Jay was being recalled.

Blackbolt:

I told the next time I see you, you shall die by my hands.

And it seems that fate itself wants you to die by my hand.

Blackbolt :

Now kneel. Just like that day.

Jay and McElroy started to feel a pressure on their shoulders it was as if someone was dragging them down to the floor. The effect was spread in a 2 meter radius.

But they had grown tremendously since last time thus they couldn't even feel the pressure. And when Blackbolt increased the gravity. They felt it and as they knelt down in their feet slowly while resisting Blackbolt.

The elevator broke wires broke and the elevator fell from the sky. In random directions.

Jay and McElroy peeked out the now broken elevator in a hurry as they saw that the elevator was still falling but Blackbolt was nowhere to be seen.

The elevator fell to the ground and was smashed to bits but before the shrapnel could spread a fence was erected such that each bit of shrapnel could be contained. Though the employee did come running in order to see what happened.

The cleaning robots stormed in and it seemed like there was no evidence of an smashed elevator.

Jay :

He fell out of the elevator.

King :

He is fine no disciple of mine will be injured by an falling elevator. It seems he is on his way here as we speak.

From the stairs there was an intense rumbling as the stairs was covered with electricity. As a man came running over and within seconds he was on the top floor and before Jay could notice once again there was another blade besides his neck which belonged to Blackbolt.

But it was stopped by the Moonlight Thunder King.

As by using two fingers he took a hold of the blade.

King :

Williams stand down.

Roy :

Not today. Why are you protecting the one who stole everything from me.

King :

Now that I think about it. The reports about Chroma appears to be missing and manipulated. I had sent Ikaros to confirm the reports but the reports never did reach me.

You were there the longest. So what happened.

Roy :

Once I end him I'll answer for everything.

King :

I am not bargaining Roy. I am demanding an answer.

King :

One second to start speaking.

King :

One, Ze-

Roy :

The mission was a failure. Because the stone was broken by him of all people. And there was a huge surge of energy that escaped the stone which caused my daughter's death.

King :

I know that part, but why did you require 90 years to get a stone.

Roy :

I.. Wanted to run an experiment. But it required time more than I could ask for. Thus I saw this as an opportunity.

King :

Jay and McElroy leave. We have nothing to talk now.

Jay and McElroy left as quickly as while fleeing they even had the thought of jumping from the elevator which was open to the outside world. But they took the stairs and safely and hastily reached the Wilcoxin Institute.

Meanwhile..

King :

Who authorized it, and what was your research based on?

The ones undergoing the Trial, did you get consent with them. And what is the status of your work?

Roy :

This work was authorized and theorized by Madam Lopez herself. While the site selection was done by Lord Ikaros.

The ones undergoing the Trial were my own daughters

And another subject.

And due to their age I couldn't get their consent.

For the matter was delicate. The subjects were to be tested blind. The research cannot be completed due to the destruction of the dome.

The theory was about making mortals having equivalent strength to the immortals.

Aim :

To reproduce the strength of immortals.

Requirements :

Human subjects, time prison, and miscellaneous.

Theory :

Immortals are as strong as they are because they had a millennium of TIME and Health to hone their abilities to an very extreme degree.

Then if such time was to be provided to the mortals.

Can same results be reproduced.

It was also suggested by General Ikaros that this method could produce Naturally Produced Super Soldiers.

Procedure :

Infiltrate the time prison.

Make a suitable place to live.

Allow the subjects to settle in

And make the subjects hone their skills.

And try to nudge them in their best suited skills.

Take periodic reading per year.

End the project when enough data is obtained.

Conclusion :

Insufficient data, cannot draw conclusions.
